There is a hippie colony just south of Carbondale so I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of moonbat types show up to be beamed aboard! Especially since this is on the Shawnee Hills wine trail and most will be liquored up...

BTW That is beautiful country; the Illinois Ozarks. Most of Illinois is flat prairie and farms but down here it's beautiful hills, nice lakes, the Little Grand Canyon, giant bolders and the like. There is the Bald Knob Cross of Peace; a hundred foot tall porcelein crucifix on top of one of the highest peaks in the state, and it's lit at nnight. Visible for 600 square miles. A wine trail featuring 14 wineries. And it's the northern part of Little Egypt the delta-like area at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Oh, and Southern Illinois University Carbondale is a major university there. The wife and I have been going there for years, long before anyone knew about it.

"X" marks the spot... the end-of-days/extraterrestrial-visitation folks are missing a great opportunity with the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8. There is an open field 6.3 miles SW of Carbondale, IL where the 2024 solar eclipse path passes exactly over the path of the August, 2017 solar eclipse path. This forms an "X", which is obviously ET's way of telling us this is where we should gather to be transported, Styx-style, into the sky! Come sail away, lads! Be there at 2 pm (CDT), or be square!

Tim adds:

Maybe it's a big X to tell other aliens to stay away as we are obviously not an intelligent of hospitable species?

AnthonyWatts theorizes it denotes the hideout of the X men. As SIU Carbondale is just six miles away perhaps Professor  X lives there and commutes to his classes.
